Welcome Wardy,

I haven't had one but I know someone who owns a trucking business using small trucks and they swear by them, I think from what I have heard from around the place they have a very good reputation.

My sister has a Sunliner Motorhome which is Iveco based.  Very good unit all round.

Cheers,

Sheba.

if its the one in the trading post   it is a good model and seems to be very well fitted out.... i drove one as a courier van and the only thing went wrong was the turbo blew up due to the fact that the owners didnt

change the oil  when due...,clean oil is vitally important for a turbo,i dont mean you cant go over a cuppla thousand kms,,the mob i worked for used to let it go over by many thousands kms and the cumulative

effect was to blow the turbo given that the vehicle had done 300,000kms and the engine was also on the way out due to dirty oil,
